In a dreaming, sunless valley of emerald carpet and feathery trees, a gold-sandaled foot parts the mist, and the dazzling, green-eyed, titian-haired sprite Toffee steps forth, ready to make mischief.

Henry Farrell's 1949 story is a zany fantasy and social-SF comedy. Fun, madcap golden-age SF. Read it for another delightful adventure of Toffee, the alluring sprite who dwells in a man's daydreams and spills gloriously into his waking life, in a fast, funny golden-age farce of enchantment, chaos, and comic peril.
